How to Dance “When you’re an Addams” Line dance with Adventures in Dance
Addams family dance
I love Halloween and I was recently inspired by the musical the “Addams Family”. In the musical they have a theme song, “When you’re an Addams,” in which the second part of the song is a line dance. So I put together my youth squad (Austin, Aiden, Noah, Josie, Bill and Robyn) and we put together this fun line dance. Here is the breakdown for you to follow along with.
Gomez yells “Line Dance”
- Lurch moves, right 1,2, then left 3,4 ( arms up , right foot side, then left foot side)
- Twist for four steps, 5,6,7,8.
- Right hand behind head 1, 2, left hand on hip 3, 4, then a hip thrust 5,6, and a shimmy 7,8.
- Conga Line starting with your right foot, three steps forward while rolling your arms, on four tap your left foot
Youth Squad Rigamortis
to the side picking your right hand up and your left fist on your right elbow. Then start with your left foot, three steps forward rolling your arms, on four point your right foot side picking your left hand up and your right fist on your right elbow. Repeat until the music changes and Gomez yells Bunny Hop.
- The Bunny Hop starts with your right foot out for heal, toe, heal, stomp, then your Left foot out for heal, toe, heal, stomp. Hop forward, hop back, three hops forward until Gomez yells twist.
- The Twist, freestyle twist up and down, do the swim, the mashed potato, or pulp fiction at your discretion until Gomez yells Rigamortis.
- Rigamortis take a pose in a stiff position and hold it until the singers say “when you’re an Addams”
Death throttle
- Conga Line starting with your right foot, three steps forward while rolling your arms, on four tap your left foot to the side picking your right hand up and your left fist on your right elbow. Then start with your left foot, three steps forward rolling your arms, on four point your right foot side picking your left hand up and your right fist on your right elbow. Repeat until Lurch says blah.
- Death throttle take a pose with both hands on your throat in a choking manner.
I hope you enjoy this fun Halloween dance as much as I enjoyed making it. It is a treat to be able to make such fun holiday how to’s for Halloween. Dance with happy feet.
